Why Growth at the company?
Growth at the company is different from growth at most companies.

We're not optimizing clicks on ads or chasing short-term engagement metrics. We're helping independent retailers discover products they love, build stronger businesses, and compete in an increasingly challenging retail landscape.

As a Growth Engineer, you'll work on some of the company's most important customer journeys - from a retailer's first interaction with the company through long-term engagement and success on the platform. You'll tackle complex product challenges involving discovery, onboarding, activation, retention, and marketplace dynamics.

You’ll operate as a true product engineer, partnering closely with Product, Design, Data Science, Analytics, and Marketing to identify opportunities, launch experiments, and measure outcomes. The team moves quickly, but with the scale and complexity of a global marketplace serving hundreds of thousands of businesses.

This role offers a rare combination of customer impact, business impact, and technical ownership. You'll see the results of your work directly in the experience retailers have on the company and in the growth of the businesses we serve.

Your work will sit at the intersection of product, engineering, data science, design, and marketing, giving you an unusual level of visibility into both customer outcomes and business impact.

Growth is one of the company's most important strategic areas. You'll identify opportunities, develop hypotheses, launch experiments, and use data to determine what works. Whether you're improving onboarding, increasing engagement, driving retention, or helping retailers realize value faster, you'll see the results of your work reflected in meaningful business metrics.

This is an ideal role for engineers who enjoy combining technical excellence with product thinking. You'll have significant ownership, move quickly from idea to launch, and help shape the future of one of the company's most significant product areas.
